Duke Ellington - Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1969-1973 - LP

180 Gram Hand-Numbered Vinyl, Limited to 2,000 Copies

Two Berlin concerts capture Duke Ellington at the peak of his late-career artistry. On November 8, 1969, Ellington took the Berlin Philharmonic stage with his storied orchestra for a 70th-birthday celebration; in 1973, months before his death, he returned in a trio-based formation joined by longtime sideman Paul Gonsalves. A flamboyant, masterful document of an alchemist at work.
